DAILY CAPITAL JOURm. SALEM. 0HM05, SATURDAY. DE1ER . ffll Poire Twelve, CHRISTMAS FROM AN ATTORNEY'S STAND POINT Ity Judge V. II. DMrry. mm Of all tlio days in tlio year that bring to tlio attorneys engaged In the practice of an arduous profession like that of law, thero Ih not one like that of Christmas. Tho Chiistmoa time and Its memories bring a sense of the troubles which are naturally the lot of one engaged in protecting clients from being deprived of their rights of property and liberty in tho courts of Justice of the land. Christmas Is a time which makes amends in a way to tlio attorney who lias an Intense feeling and interest In tho cauBo of his client and desires to aeo them successful in tho tniHt which they hnve Imposed in his hands, Christmas time brings to his mind rlearly how difficult it Is to protect the weak and defctiHcless from those who fire endeavoring to overreach them in business life. There Is no profession whose members nre able to discriminate between right and wrong and tho efforts of people who rteslro to prevent even-handed justice from being meted out to tliosn who nro entitled to tho protection of the courts. It. many times happens, through the technicalities of the law that persons who are entitled to re dress are not able to obtain their rights on account of Ibis fact. If tlio courts at all times would sweep away the technicalities which tend to ob literate exact Justice, and lueto out laws appropriate and proper to each case Instead of following old-time pre cedents, much would be accomplished 1.1 bring Justice to all. Christmas time Is a period of the I year when attorneys and all others Hhould deeply anil thoroughly con sider the Borrow that lias come to ho many by reason of the Injustice which has been dealt, out. to man from lime Immemorial on account of clans dis tinction. An honest and Inilusl rloun man Is the noblest work of (iod, and should bn protected by attorneys in their (lod given rights. lip It w Furniture the Ideal Christmas Gift There are thousands of articles of furniture in our Soml .recipient and afford pleasure fo the giver in t e know e s of a yfot osePyou TSve To give something for home use or adornment denote s I oushtfu i less .tor tho se yu love because the entire household can enjoy it, al hough R c to bu one nm the family.

T. W00LPERT Proprietor. Masonic Building OhrlHlniiiH carolH as they went from door to door, on ChrlHtmas Kvo, One, of tlio songs told of tho bleak winter month In which Christ enmo, a time when earth had neither fruit nor flow ers to orfer him. Then caino tho verso: "And 1 have not (It makes mo sigh) One gift, within my power; Tin winter, too, in me, and I Have neither fruit nor flower." lint the liiHt verso rang out clearly and triumphantly: "Vet let me give my youthful heart, O, Llltlo Ixud, to Theiv HIchh It and glvo It out again To ut her men, for me." True ChrlHtmas spirit was tho In spiration of the last verse, for no heart girt Is ever poor. It Is only the "gift without tho giver" that is "bare." Tho Christmas spirit Is grateful, generous, sympathetic, and world-wide. It is grateful for tho opportunity to give of Itself; for material benefits, for friends, and for the (lift that makes Christinas the holiday and the Holy I lay that it Is. It Is generous In wishing for all n wholesome prosperity nnd an abiding happiness; it is generous In both the thought and the spirit of receiving and giving; It Is generous in shnrlng the Joys and unselfish in seeking to re lieve the sorrows and burdens. It Ih sympathetic In making us moro thoughtful of those less fortunate; 'more patient and tender with faults and failures; more ready to speak the cheerful word and extend tho helpful hand. At this season of the year the very air seems charged with a power which compels smile to answer smile, and greeting to respond to greeting, Our "Merry Christmas" is but the expres sion (f our deep Interest In others. It Is worldwide In Its desire and wish that all mankind may enjoy the blessings of "peace and good will." It Is also worldwide in its effort to en able all to realize this desire and wish and to give to everyono tho oppor tunity to develop to the highest bis three-fold nature physical, mental ami spiritual. The Christmas spirit Is in truth tho spirit of Hope, of Kalth, of I.ovo, and of "Abundant IJftf." WHAT XMAS MEANS TO THE CHILDREN It) Florence II. CurtwrlgliU Christmas lickings by dlvlno right to tho children, nnd if wo of older growth would enter Into tho enchanted realm wo must become as llttlo chil dren ourselves, a qualification deemed necessary to cater boiiio higher places. What does Christmas mean to tho child? Up to tho ago of bIx, tho pro clous belief In Santa Clans makes tlio meaning very clear. It Is a tlmo of pure delight, unthinking and un reasoning. Tho gifts of the Magi for these little ones should be simple, use ful and entertaining. "What do you give your children for Christinas'.'" I asked an older mother one year. "Mine have grown as blase as I'ulliuan tourists." "Oil! I patronlzo the 5 and 10 cent counters," she answered with a smile. "Children love simple things that they can understand." Verbum sap., and on Christ mas morning thero were scrennis of laugh ter, In which the grown-ups joined, caused by the antics of a tin monkey climbing a string, prion fifteen cents Including the string! Older children who understand the great gift that Ilea at the heart of ChrlHtmas should feel the two-fold Joy that comes In giving and receiving. "I'll have that doll for Nelly!" "Wouldn't Jack like that top?" "The cute Teddy for baby!" said little Mary, who was taking nie on a personally conducted shopping tour through one of our modern fairylands. Her purchases included many splen did toys but all for others. "Wouldn't you like boiiio of these pretty things for yourself, dear?" I said, growing somewhat alarmed at this acute altruism, I "Oh! yes," answered the small phil osopher, "but I haven't got around to 'me yet." Nt the tlmo she had finished with "me" I felt that thero was nothing tho matter with Mary. Children of all ages revel In the Christmas spirit of tho home. When I tho holly-wreaths are hung and the j mistletoe bough twlngs on high, when Mother makes mysterious trips into that holy of holies, the front parlor, when Paddy's lMickets bulge ridicu lously and there is 'a look of hushed expectancy on every face it is then that tho truo meaning of "Peace on earth, good will to men" conies home to tho children. Nothing can ever de prive them of theso tender memories; in later years they will become the savor of lifo. Christmas often menns a season of caro and patient, loving service to many of us, but every mother who fills tho tiny stocking will agree that the greatest girt our queer old Santa Clans the world can bring her is tho rapture of Christmas joy reflected in that mirror of truth and innocence tho pure heart of the child. XMAS AS THE MAYOR ELECT SEES IT By Dr. B. L Stceves. Anyway, tho man who contradicts himself may bo right Thero Is one time In each year when every ordinarily intelligent man, wom nnd and child In this United States remembers friends and relatives, and that is on Christmas. My acquaintance with the Salem public has been Bhort. I hardly know just how to greet them. I will say this, however, may every human being In the Capital City en joy and remember this coming event ful day more than any they have en joyed any before. It falls to the lot of the business man, farmer, capitalist and laboring man to mako December 25 merry for his family, friends and relatives. Ev eryone should remember tlio other on this day make the family pleased and happy and then do tho utmost to aid In cheering the other fellow. There Is always a little left over, bo to speak, and no matter how little or insignifi cant, remember that thero are those who cant afford a Christmas tree. Ev ery buslncsB man in the city of Salem should remember this. Give something bo It ever so small, and rest assured It will be appreciated by the recipient and you will enjoy tho memory of it. As before stated, I have been in Sa lem but a short time, I hardly know the circumstances In which the aver age citizen is placed prior to the great day of cheer and feast, but I sincerely wish and hope that the 1912 Christ mas will be a banner one for all ; that everyone will be happy and that when the eventful day arrives again, It will find us and ours well and happy, and the world looking good to all of us May the people of Salem be more pros perous and more happy than they havo ever been before is my heartfelt wish for the Christmas holidays, and for all the years to oome.
